soaked

My husband is actually the waffle cook in the family, but this time I wanted to see how it's done! So I soaked some whole wheat flour in clabbered milk overnight. This was actually the very first time that I've made waffles. I can't even believe that but it's true.

I was really surprised that these turned out so well, but they did! They were slightly soft like Sally says in the recipe, but they really fluffed up like waffles made with white flour, and they did crisp up in the oven. The texture was crisp on the outside, chewy on the inside, amazing!

This is the very first recipe that I ever made out of Nourishing Traditions. I wasn't sure what to expect, it seemed a little weird to be making oatmeal this way. I mean, how could this be very different from the little packets that I was buying in the box? It is very different! The morning I first ate this, it really ‘stuck-to-my-ribs'. I ate a half cup of oatmeal with no sweeteners added to it (I'm tough) and it kept me going for 5 hours! This is unusual for me, especially in the morning hours. My girls also like this oatmeal, and they really like it when I make them breakfast and they don't have to think about it (sleepy teenagers).
